5	Hall was a cast member on the long-running American sketch show, ''Saturday Night Live'', during the 11th season (which ran from 1985 to 1986), and was the show's only cast member who was under the age of 18 when he was hired[[note]]as of 2020, Anthony Michael Hall is the youngest cast member ever hired[[/note]]. Though he only had one season, Hall actually had a good amount of recurring characters and celebrity impressions. His recurring characters were Craig Sundberg (a seemingly brainless teenager who actually is hired by scientists, politicians, and other members of the intelligentsia to solve world problems) and Fed Jones (one half of the drug-addled street hustling pair, The Two Joneses[[note]]with Creator/DamonWayans playing Ned Jones, the other half of the pair[[/note]]). His celebrity impressions include Art Garfunkel, Edd "Kookie" Byrnes, Daryl Hall (of Hall and Oates; Oates was played by Creator/RobertDowneyJr[[note]]who had to put shoes on his knees to make himself look short[[/note]]), and Bobby Kennedy.
